Reinforcing literacy in physical education

One of our goals in physical education at Nicolet is to reinforce literacy during our center weeks. During centers, the students practice particular skills for about 4 to 5 minutes and then rotate to a new center.

Mr. Lepisto created a video used with a throwing center where the kindergarten and 1st grade students follow an animal making a letter. The students try to throw a ball at the animal as it moves through the correct printing pathway.
Here is a video of some kindergarten and 1st grade students engaged in the throwing center with lowercase letters and pathways.
